Sky's the Limit Disability Services

Sky's the Limit Disability Services Sky's the Limit is a client-focused organisation that supports people living with a disability.

Sky’s the Limit Disability Services has been established in response to local community demand for quality disability support services. It is focused on managing unique, individually tailored supports to improve the health and wellbeing of South Australians living with a disability. Tim, our General Manager, has around 30 years’ experience in, and extensive knowledge of, the disability and communi

ty sectors, working across various disability sporting and recreation groups. He has also worked extensively in the employment of people living with a disability and is focused on the issues which most affect daily life. Working in the disability sector has enabled Tim to develop a deep understanding of the NDIS. This includes helping people to describe their goals, understand the supports available to them, and learn how to develop an NDIS plan that meets their needs. Tim's life experience means he has particular expertise in assistive technology, mobility, life skills, blind and low vision sport and recreation, and coming to terms with vision loss. Tim understands the key issues in the Australian disability sector that, when addressed, can remove barriers to people living with a disability achieving their goals. We offer the following services:
• Support with cleaning, gardening, and home maintenance
• Assistance with managing and attending appointments and going shopping
• Help with personal organisation and administration
• Support with community participation such as going for a walk, attending events or meeting new people
• Assistance with sport and recreation activities

• Assistance with plan reviews and documentation

Our Vision:

The NDIS is changing, and many people are aware that funding for Social and Community Participation is expected to reduce. As these changes roll out, it's more important than ever to keep reminding decision-makers that social participation isn't a luxury but rather an essential part of living a full and meaningful life.
For many people, simply getting out into the community isn't something they can easily do independently. For someone who is blind or has low vision, challenges begin the moment they leave home. Travelling safely, finding the right destination, navigating unfamiliar venues, coping with dim lighting, crowded spaces or high levels of background noise all require planning, confidence and, at times, support.
At Sky's The Limit Disability Services, we believe everyone has the right to enjoy an active social life and to participate in their community.
On Saturday night, STLDS client Janette attended a Winter Christmas event at the Blackwood Community RSL with her support worker, Alison. Over time, Janette and Alison have developed a genuine friendship, making it feel just like a night out with a friend.
The event also featured two more members of the STLDS community performing with the band; our Managing Director, Tim Haggis, and client, Michael Russell. Both have low vision and accessed NDIS supports to make their performances possible. Both received assistance to transport and set up their musical equipment and safely access the venue. Their involvement is a reminder that the right supports enable people to participate fully in their communities, whether as musicians, community members, leaders or friends.
Dancing up a storm on the dancefloor was another of our support workers, Ivana, who attended with her husband, Sam. It was wonderful to see staff, participants, family and friends all enjoying the event together as members of the STLDS community.
These aren't extraordinary moments; they're the kinds of experiences many of us enjoy without a second thought. Friendships, live music, community events and shared experiences all contribute to wellbeing, confidence and a sense of belonging.
Everyone involved had a wonderful evening and is grateful that the right supports made it possible. We hope opportunities like these continue to be recognised for what they are: an investment in inclusion, participation and quality of life for people with disability.

July is Disability Pride Month.

While Disability Pride Month began in the United States, many of its messages resonate strongly here in Australia.

For much of history, disability has often been viewed through a medical lens, that is as something to be treated, managed or overcome. While medical support can be important, this way of thinking has sometimes overshadowed the whole person and contributed to stigma, low expectations and barriers to participation.

Disability Pride Month offers a different perspective. It is an opportunity to recognise disability as a natural part of human diversity and to celebrate the achievements, contributions, talents and experiences of people with disability.

Pride does not mean pretending that challenges do not exist. Rather, it means valuing people for who they are, recognising their strengths, and rejecting the idea that disability diminishes a person's worth, potential or place in the community.

At Sky's the Limit Disability Services, we see every day that people thrive when they are supported to pursue their goals, make their own choices and participate fully in their communities. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a life that is meaningful to them and to be recognised for their abilities, aspirations and contributions.

This Disability Pride Month, we celebrate the strength, individuality and achievements of people with disability and reaffirm our commitment to creating communities where everyone is welcomed, included and able to flourish.

Disability is only one part of who a person is.

At Sky’s the Limit Disability Services, our name is much more than a name. It reflects a belief that with the right support, encouragement and determination, people can achieve things they once thought were out of reach.

I’d like to share something very personal that demonstrates what that means to me.

For most of my adult life, I have dreamed of becoming confident enough as a guitarist and singer to perform in front of an audience. While I have played bass in bands for many years, standing on stage and performing solo is a completely different challenge.

On 15 August, I will be doing exactly that.

At Ginger's Vintage Lounge on Goodwood Road, I will be presenting The Music That Shaped My Life – a show I have written myself, featuring songs connected to the major moments and milestones of my life. I’ll be accompanied by a talented pianist, but this performance represents a personal goal that has taken many years to reach.

This has been one of the biggest challenges I have ever undertaken. Like many goals worth pursuing, it has involved moments of doubt, uncertainty and fear. There were times when it felt impossible. The only way forward was to keep taking small steps, one at a time.

That is what Sky’s the Limit means to us.

We believe that everyone has dreams, goals and aspirations. They may seem ambitious, difficult or even impossible at first, but progress happens through small steps, persistence and the right support. There is no deadline on personal growth and no dream too small (or too big) to matter.

At Sky’s the Limit, we are passionate about helping people work towards the goals that are important to them, whatever those goals may be.

If you would like support to pursue your own goals and aspirations, we'd love to hear from you.

And if you’d like to come along and support me on this journey, tickets are available here:

Australia's FIFA World Cup win had us all on the edge of our seats. But how do blind and vision-impaired fans experience moments like these?
Around the world, organisations such as Touch2See, Field of Vision and OneCourt are changing what it means to be a sports fan if you are blind or vision impaired. Using tactile displays, haptic technology and audio information, these systems allow people to independently follow the action as it unfolds.
What excites us at STLDS most is not the technology itself, but what it represents.
For many blind and vision-impaired sports fans, attending a game often means relying on a friend, family member or support worker to explain what is happening. While that support is valuable, true accessibility means having the opportunity to experience the game independently.
Accessibility in sport is about more than just following the game or the score. It includes accessible ticketing, venue or stadium navigation, commentary and information. Every barrier removed creates more opportunities for people to participate fully in one of Australia's great shared cultural experiences.
The solutions don't always need to be high-tech like the ones mentioned above. Even simple tactile 3D models of sporting fields and courts can help people understand the layout of a game, support learning and enhance live sporting experiences.
What accessibility innovations do you think would make sport more inclusive?

Maintaining family connections is an important part of wellbeing, social inclusion and quality of life. NDIS supports can play a valuable role in helping participants maintain relationships with family members who may live some distance away and who would otherwise be difficult to visit independently.

Recently, Mary used her supports to visit her brother, who lives in Mintaro. Due to distance and transport barriers, opportunities to spend time together are limited, making these visits particularly meaningful. During the trip, Mary was able to reconnect with her brother, spend time with family and strengthen important family relationships.

The visit also provided an opportunity for Mary to engage in community and cultural activities. While in the Clare region, Mary attended an art exhibition featuring work by her sister-in-law. This experience allowed her to celebrate a family member's achievements, participate in the local arts community and share meaningful experiences with her family.

The trip supported Mary's social and emotional wellbeing by reducing isolation, strengthening family connections and enabling participation in community life. It also provided opportunities to develop confidence in accessing community activities, travelling to new locations and engaging in social interactions outside her usual routine.

April 29 is International Guide Dog Day 🐕‍🦺

Today we celebrate the incredible partnership between people who are blind or have low vision and their guide dogs.

Guide dogs do so much more than help someone get from A to B. They support confidence, open up opportunities for community participation, and help people move through the world with greater freedom.

It’s also a great reminder for all of us:
• Don’t distract a working guide dog
• Always ask before offering help
• Give them space to do their job

Behind every guide dog is a huge amount of training, dedication, and teamwork and it's important we don't undo that hard work by inadvertently doing the wrong thing.

Have you ever seen a guide dog team in action? Or learned something new about how they work? 🐾

• Organising important documents so they’re easy to find and use

Our goal is to support you to feel more in control, more confident and more independent over time.

We love seeing projects that put accessibility and inclusion front and centre.

A team of students at are currently working on an exciting project called Vision for Motion which is a wellness app designed to support people who are blind or have low vision to engage in fitness and connect with others - two things that are very important to us at STLDS.

Griffith is known for being very forward-thinking when it comes to disability inclusion, with initiatives like Inclusive Futures helping to drive more accessible and equitable design across their programs, so it’s great to see that thinking come to life in projects like this.

They’re looking to hear directly from the community to help shape the app, including:
• Whether you’d be interested in using something like this
• What features would be most useful
• Your thoughts on accessibility, engagement, and even willingness to pay

The survey is completely voluntary and anonymous and no personal details are collected.

If you’d like to share your thoughts and help guide this project, you can complete the survey here:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TLT9GFM

Projects like this are so important in making fitness more inclusive and accessible for everyone.

A group of us from Sky’s the Limit Disability Services went to see “Outside In” on Wednesday night at the Adelaide Fringe, and it was a fantastic night out.

Many of our clients are on the autism spectrum, and this show gave us a truly personal “inside view” of what it can feel like to experience the world with autism. Performer Matt, from the Gold Coast, shared his own story in a way that was funny, creative, honest and at times very moving.

The show took us on an emotional journey through different feelings and experiences, offering a rare and authentic insight into life with autism.

It was also a great social evening! We started the night with a meal and a drink at the West Oak Hotel , then headed to the show together.

Thank you, Matt, for such an entertaining and thoughtful performance. We hope you bring "Outside In" back to the Adelaide Fringe again next year!
